Billy Wagner returned, and this time the Mets won. Hooray. Wagner induced three outs from three batters for his 25th save.  Show and Smith split the 8th, Show giving up a walk, but otherwise keeping the bullpen worry free for the evening. John Maine gets the win, he went a full seven. He gave up two homeruns in the second, but seems to have recovered from whatever has been ailing him lately. He did strike out five. We missed you John Maine.

Not letting the Phils have all the homerun fun, Jose Reyes knocked one of his own. With the game tied at three in the sixth, Easley singled as did Schneider . Reyes drove them home two batters later and promptly taught the Phils how pointing towards low flying aircraft from nearby LaGaurdia is done.

Nice bounce back win, though there has to be some concern. Myers was not at his best, and the Mets still really didn’t do much off of him. Ten hits for the night total, half of which were Easley and Schneider. But they did what they needed to for the win, and the pitching staff as a whole was fantastic tonight. Now lets take the series.
